Concept information
Preferred term
social studies education
Definition
- Although educators disagree about the nature and the content of the social studies, such disputes are limited in the United States for two important reasons. The first is that the National Council for the Social Studies (NCSS) exerts a dominant influence on the way elementary and secondary schools teach the social studies and on the training that colleges of education impart to prospective teachers of the social studies.
